Relative Something

.

   it seems obvious
-the balance of nature-
too much
of a good thing
becomes toxic
absence of bacteria
a problem
so who led us here
to antibiotic-resistant super bugs
food allergies growing common
over-prescribed pharmacological exuberance
inducing increasing psychosis
when even Louis Pasteur himself
proclaimed with his dying breath*
that Beauchamp was right
all along

*unverified (unverifiable?) claim that can be found promulgated by an always growing number of willing believers

,

“…Pasteur, like many of us, wanted to be successful and prove his theories about dangerous germs were the cause of all human disease. Unfortunately he had an intelligent opposition named Antoine Beauchamp who completely rejected Pasteur’s ideas and put forward that the biological terrain of the being is the cause of disease, not the germ itself. Beauchamp believed that germs and parasites will only survive in acidic and unfavourable conditions and therefore mere exposure to germs is not enough to get sick.

Beauchamp believed,

“The primary cause of disease is in us, always in us.”
Antoine Beauchamp, 1883″
